  • Such composites could be formed either by intimate mixing of the powdered solids or mixing of compatible solutions or dispersions of the two components or by coating with a mucopolysaccharide one of the materials mentioned in this paragraph. Irrespective of the method used to contact the mucopolysaccharide with the other material, the two components could be covalently bonded to form a material from which the mucopolysaccharide cannot be dissolved or extracted by contact with mucopolysaccharide solvents such as aqueous electrolytic solutions. Covalent bonding could be effected by a radiation grafting copolymerization technique using, for example, .gamma.-radiation from a cobalt-60 source.
  • blood-compatible materials could be prepared by bonding, using an adhesive, the crosslinked collagen-mucopolysaccharide composite in the form of a sheet, film, or other form onto a variety of substrates.
  • substrates would include synthetic polymers such as the segmented polyurethanes, polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate and other "hydrogels", silicones, polyethylene terephthalate and polytetrafluoroethylene or modified natural polymers such as cellulose acetate or natural polymers such as elastin or pyrolytic carbon and other carbons which may have been treated thermally or by an electric arc or metals such as vitalium, titanium and various steels.
  • a suitable adhesive would, for example, be a silicone rubber adhesive.
  • the method for producing the product of the present invention must make use of steps that are recognized as effective for inactivating viral and prion contamination. This gives the product a very high safety level while eliminating the inflammatory response. That is, the method for producing the product of the invention provides a product that is substantially free of viruses and prions without being physiologically incompatible.
  • the phrase "substantially free of viruses and prions" means that the product does not contain infection-effective amounts of viruses and prions.
  • the collagen devices of the present invention may be prepared by enzyme treatment, e.g., with ficin and/or pepsin for about 1 to 2 hours at a temperature of about 36.5°C to 37.5°C, an alkali treatment, e.g ., with an aqueous solution of 5% sodium hydroxide and 20% sodium sulfate at a pH of about 13 to 14, at a temperature of about 25°C to 30°C for a period of about 35 to 48 hours, or physiologically compatible collagen which is substantially free of active viruses and prions can be obtained from transgenic animals bred for the purpose of synthesizing human collagen in a readily harvestible form. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,667,839.
  • the invention preferably comprises the use of collagen treated by a process sufficient to achieve at least a 4 log clearance of virus, more preferably at least a 6 log clearance of virus, and even more preferably at least an 8 log clearance of virus, as measured with a statistical confidence level of at least 95%. For example, if the concentration of virus before treatment is 10 7 and after treatment is 10 1 , then there has been an 6 log clearance of virus.
  • a collagen dispersion is first prepared in a manner well known in the art. One such preparation is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,157,524. Another suitable preparation of collagen is taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,520,402. The product is preferably nonantigenic in addition to being noninfectious and physiologically compatible.
  • the matrix can include biocompatible and/or bioresorbable materials other than collagen, although collagen is most preferred.
  • Additional suitable polymers include, e . g ., biocompatible and/or bioresorbable lactides, glycolides, and copolymers thereof, polycaprolactones, polyethylene carbonate, tyrosine polycarbonates, tyrosine polyacids, and polyanhydrides.
  • the molecular weight of the polymer is preferably about 5000 to about 500,000.
  • polymer refers inter alia to polyalkyls, polyamino acids and polysaccharides. Additionally, for external or oral use, the polymer may be polyacrylic acid or carbopol.
  • synthetic polymer refers to polymers that are not naturally occurring and that are produced via chemical synthesis. As such, naturally occurring proteins such as collagen and naturally occurring polysaccharides such as hyaluronic acid are specifically excluded. Synthetic collagen, and synthetic hyaluronic acid, and their derivatives, are included. Synthetic polymers containing either nucleophilic or electrophilic groups are also referred to herein as "multifunctionally activated synthetic polymers".
  • multifunctionally activated refers to synthetic polymers which have, or have been chemically modified to have, two or more nucleophilic or electrophilic groups which are capable of reacting with one another (i . e ., the nucleophilic groups react with the electrophilic groups) to form covalent bonds.
  • Types of multifunctionally activated synthetic polymers include difunctionally activated, tetrafunctionally activated, and star-branched polymers.
  • glycosaminoglycans can additionally be incorporated into the compositions of the invention.
  • Glycosaminoglycans that can be derivatized according to either or both of the aforementioned methods include the following: hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate A, chondroitin sulfate B (dermatan sulfate), chondroitin sulfate C, chitin (can be derivatized to chitosan), keratan sulfate, keratosulfate, and heparin.
  • collagen from any source may be used in the compositions of the invention; for example, collagen may be extracted and purified from human or other mammalian source, such as bovine or porcine corium and human placenta, or may be recombinantly or otherwise produced.
  • human or other mammalian source such as bovine or porcine corium and human placenta
  • the preparation of purified, substantially non-antigenic collagen in solution from bovine skin is well known in the art. See U.S. Pat. No. 5,428,022.
  • the term “collagen” or “collagen material” as used herein refers to all forms of collagen, including those that have been processed or otherwise modified.
  • Collagen of any type including, but not limited to, types I, II, III, IV, or any combination thereof, may be used in the compositions of the invention, although type I is generally preferred.
  • Either atelopeptide or telopeptide-containing collagen may be used; however, when collagen from a xenogeneic source, such as bovine collagen, is used, atelopeptide collagen is generally preferred, because of its reduced immunogenicity compared to telopeptide-containing collagen.
  • Collagen that has not been previously crosslinked by methods such as heat, irradiation, or chemical crosslinking agents is preferred for use in the compositions of the invention, although previously crosslinked collagen may be used.
  • Non-crosslinked atelopeptide fibrillar collagen is commercially available from Collagen Corporation (Palo Alto, Calif.) under the trademarks ZYDERM I COLLAGEN and ZYDERM II COLLAGEN, respectively.
  • Glutaraldehyde crosslinked atelopeptide fibrillar collagen is commercially available from Collagen Corporation under-the trademark ZYPLAST COLLAGEN.
  • the cavity is readied for application of the covering. Areas of tissue within the cavity that have been destroyed or damaged are surgically removed to prevent it from interfering with the healing process.
  • the CG matrix preferably in sheet form, is randomly stuffed into the cavity in a manner that minimizes the entrapment of air pockets between the tissue and the matrix.
  • the surgical opening is sutured or stapled closed using conventional techniques and then covered with a bandage.
  • Infiltration As defined herein, further refers to allowing a sufficient period of time for this migration of cells and blood vessels into the lattice.
  • the collagen lattice eventually is biodegraded by collagenase and other natural enzymes into non-toxic substances that are digested, utilized, or eliminated by normal bodily processes.
  • the lattice must retain its structural integrity until an adequate number of cells have reproduced within the lattice to regenerate the lost or removed tissue. If the lattice is biodegraded more quickly than this, it will be liquified and rendered useless before the cavity has healed.
  • the biodegradation rate should be roughly equal to approximately 25 to 30 days. This does not mean that the entire lattice should be biodegraded within 30 days. Instead, it indicates that a significant amount of biodegradation should commence within about 30 days, although remnants of the lattice may persist for several months or more. Routine experimentation by persons skilled in the art might indicate that this biodegradation rate should be modified somewhat for lattices that are seeded with cells, or for lattices that are used for purposes other than synthetic skin.
  • the biodegradation rate of a collagen lattice may be decreased (i.e., the lattice will endure for a longer period of time after grafting onto a wound) by increasing the collagen crosslinking density, by increasing the content of GAG that is crosslinked with collagen, or by decreasing the porosity of the lattice.
  • the lattice device should be sufficiently tough and strong to withstand suturing without tearing, and to prevent or limit tearing if subjected to accidental stresses caused by bandaging or medical operations or by patient movement.
  • the two most important indices of strength of a lattice are tensile strength (which measures how much force is required to pull apart a specimen with a known cross-sectional area) and fracture energy (which measures how much work is required to create a tear of a given size).
  • the strength of the lattice may be increased by increasing the crosslinking density or by decreasing the porosity of the lattice.
  • the synthetic collagen lattice should resemble the collagen matrix that exists naturally within the type of tissue that is to be regenerated. This spatial arrangement will promote the growth of cells in orderly patterns that resemble undamaged tissue, thereby reducing scarring and promoting proper functioning of the regenerated tissue.
  • CG matrices refer to CG matrices into which cells (preferably harvested from a wound free site on the patient's body) have been introduced. Each cell that survives the seeding process can reproduce and multiply, thereby hastening the formation of a cavity-filling tissue.
  • Preferred cells are adipocytes (fat cells) and/or preadipocytes (fat cell precursors that differentiate into adipocytes) derived from fat storage areas in the body or fat cells derived from bone marrow, stem cells, or mesenchymal cells that are harvested and developed under laboratory conditions and seeded onto the matrix prior to implantation.
  • CG matrices are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,060,081, the teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Matrices that have been seeded are referred to as “cellular” while unseeded matrices are referred to as “acellular”.
  • Seeded CG matrices may be autologous, i.e. matrices seeded with cells obtained from the human or animal having the bum or wound, or they may be heterologous, i.e. seeded with cells obtained from a donor.
  • cells being used to seed a CG matrix may undergo genetic manipulation in order to prevent rejection or to change the cell's phenotype in some beneficial manner. Genetic manipulation includes introducing genetic matter into the cells so that the protein gene product or products are expressed in sufficient quantities to cause the desired change in phenotype.
  • An example of suitable genetic matter includes the gene encoding for a growth factor along with the requisite control elements.
  • Implants of the invention may also include radio-opaque materials or radio-opaque elements, so that the biopsy site may be detected both with ultrasound and with X-ray or other radiographic imaging techniques.
  • Radiopaque materials and markers may include metal objects such as clips, bands, strips, coils, and other objects made from radiopaque metals and metal alloys, and may also include powders or particulate masses of radiopaque materials.
  • Radiopaque markers may be of any suitable shape or size, and are typically formed in a recognizable shape not naturally found within a patient's body, such as a star, square, rectangular, geometric, gamma, letter, coil or loop shape.
  • Suitable radiopaque materials include stainless steel, platinum, gold, iridium, tantalum, tungsten, silver, rhodium, nickel, bismuth, other radiopaque metals, alloys and oxides of these metals, barium salts, iodine salts, iodinated materials, and combinations of these.
  • the implant of the invention may also include MRI-detectable materials or markers, so that the biopsy site may be detected both with ultrasound and with MRI or other imaging techniques.
  • MRI contrast agents such as gadolinium and gadolinium compounds, for example, are suitable for use with ultrasound-detectable biopsy marker materials embodying features of the invention.
  • Colorants such as dyes (e.g., methylene blue and carbon black) and pigments (e.g., barium sulfate), may also be included in ultrasound-detectable biopsy marker materials embodying features of the invention.
  • the biocompatibility of two scaffolds is investigated in a porcine model.
  • the sample materials designated H16 and IM by Integra, (blocks measuring 2.5 x 2.5 x 1.0 cm 3 ) are placed in the mammary tissue of three pigs and evaluated at explant time periods of 7, 21, and 60 days.
  • histology reveals giant cell infiltration with minimal fibrous tissue invasion.
  • Neutrophil and giant cell infiltration is ongoing at 21 days with moderate to significant fibrous tissue invasion.
  • invasion of well-organized granulation tissue is observed.
  • the histopathology findings are considered positive and indicated a need for follow-up studies with an extended duration.
  • Implant site volume is maintained between days 14 and 42. Between days 42 and 179, the implants in this pilot study followed one of two paths depending on the animal in which they are implanted.
  • tissue reactions within the Integra matrices are associated with the normal absorptive process of the material and are no greater than slight to moderate.
  • Site volume maintenance correlated with matrix absorption as the material absorbed, the sites became smaller. Although the one site with total absorption at day 364 has a greater amount of fibrous connective tissue than the empty control sites at that period, the absolute amount of new tissue is considerably less than the volume of material originally introduced into the site.
  • the degree of calcification of unabsorbed matrix appears to increase with in vivo residence.
  • scaffold materials including the Integra product (identified as Avagen below), are evaluated for in vitro biocompatibility with human preadipocytes. All of these scaffolds are seeded with human subcutaneous preadipocytes at 5X10 3 cell/cm 2 2.5X10 4 cells/cm 2 and 2.5X10 5 cells/cm 2 . A fluorometric assay is used to measures the total DNA in the scaffolds which indirectly estimates the number of cells. Proliferation of preadipocytes is observed with all scaffolds and is dependent on the initial seeding density and type of scaffold.
  • a decrease in cell number and leptin secretion is observed in non-woven materials following adipocyte differentiation that may be due to the relatively rapid degradation rate of vicryl and the reduction in pH value which had an effect on pre-adipocyte biological activity.
  • Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining reveals the penetration of preadipocytes through the scaffolds after a three-week incubation.
  • fluorescence labeling of adipocytes with Nile Red and histological staining with oil red O reveals that most of the mature adipocytes is on the surface of the scaffolds.
  • Pre-adipocytes proliferated and differentiate well on both CBC foams and Avagen.TM
